grits,
Thanks for showing you have the same issue.
I have also purchased my drive in nov/2010. Its written on my drive that is was fabricated in oct/2010, so its very recent, just like yours probably is too.
So far, everything indicates that gskill decided to go for some CHEAP LOW QUALITY nands on their recent SSDs. In my opinion, either the nands are bad, or the controller (sandforce) is messed up, and I doubt it is the controller. It is much more likely that gkill decided to ship some low quality nands to us.
Pay attention to every HD Tune bench posted here that has the "roller coaster" effect. In every case, the speed drops to 150MB/s. So this number must mean something. Why our drives are dropping read speeds to 150MB/s ?
What we need here, is some gkill engineer that knows what is going on, to post and give us a clear answer on what is going on with their latest drives, and what is the solution.
